Technical Abstract

This invention relates to a method for provisioning a wireless control device with an information element allowing to identify visually at least one unauthorized user in a restricted area, the restricted area comprising a gateless control area being equipped with at least an image sensor and an electronic reader supporting a short range radio technology allowing to read data memorized into a wearable device carried by a user. The method comprises the steps of: providing by the image sensor a digital image of at least one user that is detected as passing through the gateless control area; extracting from the provided digital image of the detected user a first face detection dataset; providing by the electronic reader a second face detection dataset memorized in a wearable device carried by said detected user; applying facial recognition over the first and second face detection datasets in order to determine if the user associated to the first face detection dataset is the same as the one associated to the second face detection dataset, the detected user being identified as authorized in that case and identified as unauthorized otherwise; sending to a wireless control device a message comprising an information item adapted to ease the visual identification of an unauthorized user.

Patent Claims
18 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising the step of receiving data allowing the localization of the wireless control device.

4

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein Ultra-wideband (UWB) is used as the short range technology for the first electronic reader and the wearable device to communicate.

5

5. The method according to claim 1, comprising the steps of receiving data allowing to localize the unauthorized user, generate an information element representative of said localization data, and send this information element to the wireless control device.

6

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first and second detection datasets correspond to a predefined set of facial features.

7

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the second face detection dataset is memorised securely into the wearable device.

8

8. The method according to claim 1, comprising the step of receiving and analysing the digital image captured by the first image sensor in order to detect the presence of the one or several users that are passing through the first gateless control system.

9

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein one information item that is transmitted to the wireless control device is a picture having the format of a photo ID extracted from the one that has been captured by the first image sensor.

10

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein one information item that is transmitted to the wireless control device is adapted to allow the control officer to recognize the outer appearance of an unauthorized user.

11

11. The method according to claim 1, comprising the step of formatting a control report such that the information items related to a plurality of unauthorized users are transmitted in a single message to the wireless control device.

14

14. The data processing system according to claim 12, comprising the step of receiving data allowing the localization of the one wireless control device.

16

16. The data processing system according to claim 12, wherein Ultra-wideband (UWB) is used as the short range technology for the first electronic reader and the wearable device to communicate.

17

17. The data processing system according to claim 12, comprising the steps of receiving data allowing to localize the unauthorized user, generate an information element representative of said localization data, and send this information element to the wireless control device.

18

18. The data processing system according to claim 12, wherein the first and second detection datasets correspond to a predefined set of facial features.

19

19. The data processing system according to claim 18, wherein the second face detection dataset is memorised securely into the wearable device.

20

20. The data processing system according to claim 12, comprising the step of receiving and analysing the digital image captured by the first image sensor in order to detect the presence of the one or several users that are passing through the first gateless control system.

21

21. The data processing system according to claim 12, wherein one information item that is transmitted to the wireless control device is a picture having the format of a photo ID extracted from the one that has been captured by the first image sensor.

22

22. The data processing system according to claim 12, wherein one information item that is transmitted to the wireless control device is adapted to allow the control officer to recognize the outer appearance of an unauthorized user.

23

23. The data processing system according to claim 12, comprising the step of formatting a control report such that the information items related to a plurality of unauthorized users are transmitted in a single message to the wireless control device.
